Students are able to consistently sequence, with control, locomotor,
non-locomotor, and manipulative movements in a specific game or
sport situation. Students at the Exceeds Standards level can apply
sport skills in a game like situation using the correct form (e.g.,
fielding a ground ball to throw to first base).
